Dr. Cranky Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Super cool and you've bumped it up a notch with the opening doors. Amazing.
John Teresi Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 David.......I absolutely luv this build.......you are doing a FANTASTIC job.......this build ROCK`S man.
Psychographic Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 The piece of body that I broke off is reattached, the gaps have been filled by adding .030 strips to the edges of the door and sanded to fit, I added a striker and latch notch for the door. I also cut a strip from the floor and glued it to the door opening for a little strength. The gaps still need some fine tuning, but are close,
tooltas Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 its going to be a hot went done got a wild paint job for it in ur mind B)

hotrodplastic Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I have 2 of these kits and wonder if I should make one a regular van after seeing yours it's not regular in any way I think George barris would say "wow"...Cheers to that!!!! I have decided to build one into a funny car drag racer Cheers Chris "life's a gas pedel get off the "brakes"
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 What color do you have in mind for this? I like what you've done with this. bobthehobbyguy
FASTBACK340 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Wow... I saw this bumped up and was hoping we made progress. Dave, how's it coming along?
Modellpularn Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Wow, cool idea turning it into a van! I like the sun roof, it reminded me of an AMT Chevy van I built many years ago. It was one of those early van kits, where you could choose covered or window sides. I also used the same tinted glass. I cut a big opening, and the sun roof just snaps into place! Different with turbocharged six, but cool.
Psychographic Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Wow... I saw this bumped up and was hoping we made progress. Dave, how's it coming along? It's sitting idle for now. I have a bunch of projects going at once, about 5 for me and 2 for customers. What happens is, I get bored with finishing details, but love mocking things up, so I seem to have too many going at once. I promise to get back to it soon. As for the paint, I have a sketch of the paint I did one night while watching TV that I hope to use. I'll scan it later and post it.
FASTBACK340 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I hear ya... We're all guilty of dreaming and then we get side tracked with the next dream. Take your time, but please finish it.
Sixties Sam Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 That is cool! Very innovative design work. The sunroof is great, lets you see the engine and interior. Great work! Sam
Dirkpitt289 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Wow, this is way cool. I can't wait to see what you do with the paint
Greg Pugh Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Holy moly....this is wild! Very creative!
qmhd Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I'm not fan of the side door but the body work and the frame are awesome ! keep up the good work !
scale trucker Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 that thing is sick and twisted...any color choice yet..love the turbo slant 6
Psychographic Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 Here is the proposed plan for the paint. This could change about a 100 times berfore it's done though.
mrm Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Super cool!!!! Not a fan of the side door either, but everything else is really nice. I love following builds like this. Keep it coming.
